Anything else than Dovecot accessing these mboxes (besides MDA)?

10 bytes could be used for "Status: O\n" and 13 bytes could be used for
"X-UID: 8808\n". But why wouldn't it figure out initially that it needed
to write the X-UID header also? Hmm.

Do you have a core file from that crash? It would show a bit more
information. If not, see http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html

If these happen frequently, I could also send a debug patch that writes
the broken mbox headers to some temp file. That with the core file would
provide enough information to figure out what exactly is the problem.
